A Drainage Compliance Survey, Pre-purchase Drain Survey, or Septic Tank Survey is essential for property owners and businesses to ensure their drainage systems meet current UK regulations, avoid costly fines, and protect the environment. Since the introduction of the General Binding Rules in 2015, which regulate small sewage discharges, a septic tank or drainage survey has become a crucial step, especially for those buying or selling a home.
Whether you’re buying or selling a property, dealing with persistent drainage issues, or simply want peace of mind, our drain/tank compliance surveys provide a detailed assessment of your drainage system, giving you a full understanding of its condition and compliance status. If repairs or upgrades are necessary, these will be clearly outlined in the reports as well.

✔ Meet Regulatory Compliance: Drainage regulations in the UK are becoming increasingly strict, particularly for septic tanks, cesspits, and private drainage systems. A compliance survey helps you stay within the law, ensuring your system meets General Binding Rules and environmental standards.
✔ Increase Property Value & Marketability: If you’re selling a home, a fully compliant drainage system can be a huge selling point. Buyers are more cautious than ever about hidden drainage issues, and a compliance certificate reassures them that they won’t face unexpected repair costs down the line. A well-maintained, legally compliant system makes your property more attractive to buyers and mortgage lenders, ultimately increasing its value.
✔ Avoid Drainage Issues Before They Become Costly: Blocked, damaged, or illegal drainage connections can lead to flooding, pollution, and expensive repairs. Our survey identifies potential problems early, allowing you to fix them before they escalate into costly emergencies.
✔ Protect the Environment & Avoid Fines: If your septic tank or soakaway discharges into a watercourse (river, stream, or ditch), you may need to upgrade your system to meet regulations. Failure to comply could result in fines or legal action.
✔ Peace of Mind with a Professional Survey: A Drain Compliance Survey is non-invasive, thorough inspection, and carried out by experienced drainage engineers. Our advanced CCTV drain cameras and equipment are used to inspect pipework, check for leaks or misconnected drains, and assess the overall health of your drainage system or your septic system, ensuring your drainage system remains in perfect working order.
Serving homeowners, homebuyers, property managers, and solicitors across Hampshire and the South of England, we provide clear, professional insights into the condition of your drainage system. Our experienced team removes any uncertainty, ensuring you fully understand the state of your drains and catch any issues before they escalate.

The cost of a home buyer’s drainage survey typically depends on factors like the size of the property, the complexity of the drainage system, and whether any specific issues need to be addressed.

The cost of fixing a drain or carrying out drainage repairs depends on the severity of the issue and the work required. Minor fixes like unblocking a drain can be anywhere below a £100 while more extensive repairs such as drain relining, excavation or installations potentially cost more. If you have a problem with your drains and need an accurate quote, feel free to contact us at 01264710543 for a no-obligation quote.
As a rule of thumb, if the drain is within your property boundary, you are responsible for maintaining and repairing it. However, if it’s a shared drain or a public sewer, it falls under the responsibility of the local water authority. Not sure who’s responsible? We can help assess your situation—just give us a call!
Generally, the cost of unblocking a blocked drain or carrying out any sort of drain repairs depends on the level of damage, and what goes into carrying out such fixes. A simple drain unblocking or small-scale repairs like patch lining would normally cost less than full drain replacements, water main or water pipe replacement that may require excavation work. We are happy to provide free no obligation quotes
If you want to have a go at unblocking your drain yourself, you can try the following steps:
If you have tried the above and your drain is still blocked, this could be a sign of a more serious drainage issue that require professional expertise and methods such as high-pressure jetting. Got an emergency drainage issue in Andover, Hampshire, call Clanville Draintech at 01264710543, and we’ll get it sorted, fast!
Simple answer is yes. For minor blockages, you can try using boiling water, a plunger, or a drain cleaner. However, if these don’t work, forcing it too much could damage your pipes or push the blockage further down. For severe blockages, it’s best to get professional help. At Clanville Draintech our drain repair specialists are available 24/7 for all kinds of emergency drain unblocking across Andover, Hampshire and the South of England!
Whether house insurance cover blocked drains issues depends on your insurance policy. Some providers cover it if the damage is accidental or structural, but issues caused by neglect, fat buildup, or tree roots may not be included. If you are not sure, check with your insurer – or speak with an expert at Clanville Draintech for advise.
